Zandra Hearn

Zandra F. Hearn serves as a key procurement professional within the W071 Endist Omaha office of the Department of the Army, responsible for managing complex construction and engineering acquisitions that sustain and modernize critical military infrastructure. Her work directly supports the Army’s strategic priorities in nuclear deterrence, base readiness, and operational training environments by overseeing the acquisition of hardened facilities, utility corridors, and integrated support systems. She handles a portfolio dominated by commercial and institutional building construction, heavy civil engineering, and professional engineering services, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with national defense objectives. Hearn maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including JOHN BOWMAN, INC., PAF ELECTRICAL, INC., HENDRICKSON TRANSPORTATION LLC, PERINI MANAGEMENT SERVICES, INC., and WASHINGTON EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURING COMPANY, INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established firms with proven capabilities in military-grade construction, electrical systems, heavy equipment logistics, and project management. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance reliability, technical precision, and timely delivery in high-stakes operational environments. While the majority of her acquisitions are competed without set-asides (76%), she demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly a quarter of awards directed to service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. This pattern underscores a deliberate effort to integrate qualified SDVOSBs into the Army’s infrastructure modernization pipeline while maintaining competitive rigor. Her technical focus centers on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), complemented by significant activity in heavy civil engineering (237990) and engineering services (541330). She routinely procures turnkey construction, structural reinforcement, utility infrastructure, and building inspection services essential to sustaining the Army’s physical readiness posture across the continental United States.
